A writer is seized by apocalyptic visions, a trio of beatniks dance to modern jazz in the ruins of an abandoned church, and a séance brings forth the reproachful spirits of the military dead.

In Voices of the Fallen Heroes, stark autobiography contrasts with pure horror, and the tenderness of first love cedes to obsession, heartbreak and deathly beauty. In one tale, Mishima recounts the true story of the time a deranged fan broke into his home at dawn. Elsewhere, a beautiful youth achieves eternal life through violent murder, and an ill-matched couple seal their fate with a pack of cards, tangled in the web of time and unfulfilled desire.

Available in English for the first time, and carefully selected by expert translators, these captivating stories are the perfect introduction to Mishima's work, on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima, novelista e dramaturgo, pseudónimo de Kimitake Hiraoka, nasceu em Tóquio em 1925 e suicidou-se de forma mediática, praticando o ritual japonês seppuku, a 25 de novembro de 1970, manifestando assim a sua discordância perante o abandono das tradições japonesas e a aceitação acrítica de modelos consumistas ocidentais. O idealismo que enforma a sua obra e conduzirá a sua vida está enraizado no tradicionalismo militar e espiritual dos samurais, e a sua conceção da arte liga-se a um elevado culto da alma e do corpo. Mishima é um dos mais conhecidos escritores japoneses, várias vezes apontado como candidato ao Prémio Nobel da Literatura, e autor de obras inesquecíveis como Confissões de Uma Máscara (1949), O Templo Dourado (1956) ou O Marinheiro Que Perdeu as Graças do Mar (1963).
